Day Center
The PACE Day Center is the core of our care program.
Our Facility
Located in beautiful Saint Joseph, Michigan, the PACE Day Center is the hub for all of the services we provide.
PACE provides recreational and social activities for all levels of cognitive and physical functionality. At the PACE Day Center, there is something for everyone. From live music and bingo to bible studies and field trips, we offer activities that every participant can enjoy. Favorite activities also include animal therapy, community outreach projects, crafts, games designed for mental stimulation, and gardening in our outdoor patio area. A hot lunch, healthy snacks, and beverages are provided daily.
Daily Activities
Our Activity Coordinators schedule enrichment programs and fun things to do on a daily basis. They help participants who are at home and not able to come into the center by dropping off activities like word games and craft materials. Activity Coordinators can also interact via. video chat to provide fun activities to participants who are homebound or not able to regularly come into the Day Center.
Spiritual and Emotional Care
Not only does PACE help with physical health, we also nurture our participants’ spiritual well-being. PACE has a full-time Chaplain who supports participants in their spiritual health, furthering their happiness and contentment. The Chaplain visits participants in their homes and leads non-denominational Bible Studies, poetry groups, and hymn sings. PACE also offers pastoral care and support for families who have lost a loved one.
Field Trips
Our activities team will occasionally take participants on field trips! We’ve enjoyed fishing, riding the carousel, visiting gardens, and other activities. PACE provides everything needed for a fun-filled experience.
Community Guests
Our Day Center frequently hosts community members to entertain and interact with our participants throughout the day. We have regularly scheduled singers, musicians, magicians, and other artists. We also host local organizations such as Sarett Nature Center, Bark Angels Dog Therapy, and others.
